Origins - A PERFECT WORLD™ skincare review*

Wednesday, August 16, 2017

I have been using Origins products and promoting them for years to my friends, family and co-workers. When I was contacted by Origins to try out their new collection - A Perfect World, I quickly said yes. Upon doing some research, I found that this collection is based around one ingredient, the Silver Tip White Tea. White Tea was a prized possession for centuries in China by royalty - it was known as the "Elixir of Immortality". In current times, scientists have discovered that there may have been some truth behind this as it is packed with polyphenols, a potent antioxidant that works to protect your skin from environmental stressors, like free radicals - that helps you to look younger, more youthful and radiant. Therefore, it is a great anti-aging product.

The products that were sent to me, along with my reviews and opinions are below:

This cleanser is a cream to foam cleanser that also contains the antioxidant-rich White Tea formulation that helps combat aging. The cleanser effectively cleanses my make-up off my face ( I do use a make-up remover on my eyeliner + mascara first). It does not strip my skin, and leaves my skin feeling very refreshed and hydrated. I have been a fan of Origins cleansers for a while, like the Frothy Face Wash and got my coworker hooked on it!

I use this as a toner after my cleansing to prep my skin for moisturizer. The one great thing about this is that it is oil and alcohol free, meaning it will not suck out the moisture from your skin, and that the cleanser has worked hard to pull into the skin. I really like this product as I can really see it cleaning any remnants from my face on the cotton pad.

I have been a user of eye cream since my late teens - I thoroughly believe in prevention vs. treating once it's too late! This eye-cream is oil-free, and contains irritation free SPF 20 (which is great because very few eye creams contain SPF). This eye cream is light-weight and does not cause any milia under my eye (which I have experienced in the past with other eye creams that are too rich). I can also wear this under make-up and it does not cause any weird reactions to my concealer.

This is a new and improved formula which provides ultra hydration while fighting signs of aging. This product contains SPF which is great to protect your skin from the damaging effects of Infrared Rays, and other environmental factors that negatively impact your skin. This moisturizer contains the anti-oxidant rich White Tea that protects the skin, and Edelweiss and White Birch to strengthen the skin's barrier and defend it.

I really enjoy the weightless formula, and the light fragrance that does not irritate me at all. This is oil free as well so I can wear this under my make-up while having protection from the SPF. My skin was more plump after about a month or two of usage.

Until next time, XO - M.
